All I want for Christmas

Merry Christmas!

The boys headed to the club for breakfast with Santa. Unbelievably, all kids, even papa, were on their best behavior.

Finally! A tooth!

Elliott was super crabby today. Was it because of the nasty cold he has been nursing for a few days? Was it because of the 3 shots he received this morning? Was it because he hasn't been sleeping much thanks to his cough? Could be. But he has been a champ through all those troubles before. This afternoon, Mama found another reason for his bad mood: his very first tooth is poking through! It's about time. I think Nox's first one came right around 7 1/2 months, too. They're sorta slow.

Bob's belated bday

We took the family up to ol' Grizzly Jack's this weekend for a little retreat. We would love to say it was relaxing, but that would be a lie. Regardless, a good time was had by all. Enjoy!

Vegas 2009

The family took a trip out west to hike, enjoy some warm air, and watch the Illini lose two basketball games.

Mama and boys

Mama is here clowning around with the boys on a Saturday morning.
